He also promises (internally, as Feebs puts it) to help those who helped him, as a matter of thanks.

Hello everyone:)!

I have a question, is it an idiom?

How would it be used?

- You didn't thank me for it
- Oh, yes, I...

How could I put "Silent vow of thanks" there?

Thanks in advance!:)

No - because a silent vow is just that - one that is not expressed.

It is not a phrase that would be used much in daily speech. You will most likely find it in a novel.
